You'd expect nothing less from a man with balls enough to wear that syrup, but honestly. There was however a brilliant response from one union.
I guess he's just a useful idiot happy to parrot this line, knowing his job's safe and it spreads division and softens focus on the corruption and double standards etc. He and the partygoers should all be removed from office immediately. But the system is not fit for purpose. [Post edited 13 Apr 2022 20:11]

Is he saying it is OK for the PM to break the law because other people are breaking the same law? Or have I missed his point? |  | | |

The apologists lining up to agree with him are a despicable bunch. Some clown called Tom Harwood claiming that schools and hospitals were frequently receiving gifts of cakes so must have been meeting to eat them. Oh, Tom works for GB News. Even if their lies are to be believed what’s their messaging really saying; “well, other people broke the rules so it’s okay if the Prime Minister did.” It’s quite the argument. |  |

That was something that was doing the rounds on twitter today in terms of vox pops from Uxbridge (I think) lots of elderly white people essentially parroting the same line that the coordinated tweets have taken.
I'm not really sure what Fabricant is doing beyond being a scumbag. It's a ludicrous supposition that tars whole professions with something baseless. I assume the premise is that we mystically all broke the rules once a day to do something we'd be sacked for anyway.
I remember stripping off in the hallway (sorry for the image) and running upstairs to shower / disinfect before going near my wife and kids at the start of it all. The reams of reading we did as union reps to help everyone understand the rules and amount of cajoling, "challenging conversations" and general friction trying to operate in bubbles every few days was unreal.
Let alone actually being on a ward with the sick and dying. | |

He's as sharp as a butter knife. He literally embodies the arguments about money and school over meritocracy.
I think he's essentially been groomed into making his twitter account go as viral as possible to get eyes on GB News because no fcuker is watching it. | |

A bit of a wild punt but, I'm betting that he doesn't know any nurses or teachers that had a drink on work premises after work during the height of the pandemic.
None whatsoever.
Absolutely none. |  | | |

Mullet, have you ever known teachers to sit down to drinks after work in the staff room? I know many, many years ago staff used to drink at lunch time but that is related to me from long-retired teachers.
Since lockdown, we have not even had tea and coffee together at break time nor had it at parents evenings. I doubt we are anything but typical as a school either. |  |

Harwood’s an utter w@nker and one the new breed of conservative ‘journalists’ with vile opinions. It’s hard to know where it will go for him: down the sad, pathetic and bitter Hartley Brewer route or more down Johnson’s route. Hopefully the first. It’s thoroughly depressing to see such bigoted views in people so young. They could be using their energy as a force for good. |  |

I have never worked in a school (nearly 40 years) where any alcohol has been consumed on the premises - irrespective of any lockdown rules.
I do recall one colleague turned up one morning years ago smelling of alcohol. He lost his job as a result. |  |

You all wait until the holidays, don't you?
Then you spend a week in a darkened room, sobbing, with only a couple of bottles of gin for company. |  |

Not sure about others' experiences, but many of my teacher friends were taking classes remotely through the worst of covid too... So not many opportunities to go and have a few post-work drinkies. Which does sound quite unlikely anyway. |  |

I was in a school staff room earlier this week and it was just all herbal tea innit. Teachers love a boiling hot blackcurrant or something don’t they. |  |

I have not seen more than a handful of staff in a staff room aside from for a meeting for many years now. Older (now-retired) colleagues bemoan the fact that it used to be a place of camaraderie and relaxation. | |

I can well believe it. However, once teachers get home it’s another matter. I understand it’s obligatory to mark homework with a bottle on the go. | |

I told my wife (NHS Nurse of 20yrs) this yesterday and she laughed like a drain in disbelief. She is contracted to do 13 hour shifts but often does 15hrs with no extra pay/overtime, no breaks…sometimes a 15 min break after 10hrs. Sometimes the break is taken on the wards as they’re so understaffed. The last thing on a nurse’s mind is to have a drink in the staff room at the end of the shift - a. Because it’s illegal for them to do so and - b. The just want to get the hell out of there.
This man is a total plonker spouting nonsense that sadly a percentage of the population will just accept as true. Madness! |  | | |

Not the brightest is our Mickey - a sort of Rees-Mogg with not so much absurdity about him.
Now if we set aside the parties, and what did or did not go on we are still left we the charge of him deliberately misleading (lying to) Parliament, by claiming there were not any parties, then there were and he accepted he was there, but it is OK because he did not know they were parties.
It is clear that he knew exactly what was happening, and that it was with his approval yet he still thought he could lie his way out of it.
A fairly junior member of staff resigned immediately (Angel Stratton). It is a measure of the man that there is no sense of honour or self respect. You can see where he was willing to take Putins money, to support him over Crimea in return for a KGB officer's son supporting his political career - Evening Standard.
A truly odious scum bag with no morals, scruples or sense of decency whatsoever - much like his supporters, where ever they appear | | | |

Your good lady is a saint. Very few could or would do what she does, and we owe her and everyone in the NHS a great deal more than what the government have offered, including this latest insult from a tosser who's made a career out of being a tosser. | |

I wish detention was in the staff room!
Used to be the forbidden place when I were at school, with a whole air of mystery around it. | |

Way back in the day I had to go into the staff room at Brittania Primary School. A teacher had sent me on an errand to get something but we as kids had been told not to go in there so I knocked on door and waited forever to be let in. Met with a very strong whiff of coffee and cigarettes. | |

It should be easy enough for him to show that was normalised. Not just "I know one teacher/school" but several, still wouldn't be representative of the whole profession. Same as shifts of nurses etc.
If he can't produce evidence that 1% in both professions did this he should go. But of course, he'll be in the Lords quicker than a KGB plant instead. | |

Just doesn't happen does it?
We can barely sit and have a brew together most days. Although I've been told that is changing at our place.
If anything, the modern management way seems to be all about breaking up the staff room and ensuring staff don't mix across departments etc. Stops people talking and finding out stuff....... | |
